A recent article from a few months ago.
Basically a watch this space situation, as FIFA & UEFA/CONMEBOL butt heads, and who knows what competition plans & money deals, fall out of that.

That much, it is fair to say, has been achieved to some extent, but rather than reign in the (UEFA) Nations League's current demands on players, there remain plans afoot to 'expand the franchise'.

That much, it is fair to say, has been achieved to some extent, but rather than reign in the (UEFA) Nations League's current demands on players, there remain plans afoot to 'expand the franchise'.
Though a mooted Global Nations League - including all 223 members of FIFA's six continental confederations and taking place every two years - never quite got off the ground, change is surely coming.
In the framework for that competition, group winners would have advanced to eight-team intercontinental tournaments in each of seven divisions, to be played every other summer and broadcast around the clock - that may yet be revived in the more distant future.
However, UEFA have already agreed a deal with CONMEBOL to accept 10 more participants from 2024 onwards, with South American countries joining the competition: controversially, all games would be played in Europe.
The top six CONMEBOL nations according to the World Cup qualifying table are set to join League A, while the other four slots into the second-tier League B. Leagues C and D would remain unchanged.
Progress is assured, then, but with a 24-team Club World Cup also in the offing, it may be a case of moving on to bigger but not necessarily better things.
